Have you checked the water distribution tube to make sure it's not clogged, or missing? I had back-flushed my block previously, and it did not clean out the tube. See the last few posts on my project blog for info on this.

The last resort would be to pop out the core plugs and remove any accumulated scale and sludge. You may want to buy one of those cheap laser temp reader guns and check the block in a few places while it's hot to make sure the block is cooling evenly.
